To start our “Affirmation of the Week” series, we’ve selected one of my favorites: “I am attractive, healthy, and strong.” I like it so much, it’s the one we chose to include on the Elite Thin bottle.
Why? Well, you’ll learn more about me as you follow the blog, but to make the long story short, I have had self esteem issues for most of my life. I won’t really get into why, but let’s just say I like to feel a constant reminder. This affirmation basically sums up the three areas where I feel I need the most help in terms of my self esteem. I need to feel attractive, healthy, and strong to motivate myself to make it through my day. I am healthy, attractive, and strong, and knowing this is part of what makes it easier for me to accomplish my weight loss goal.
I am one who used to let the nagging voice in the back of my head really get to me. Then, I discovered positive affirmations and it clicked. If I can let the “voice” be mean to me, why can’t I turn the table and allow that voice to be nice to me? While I’ll admit it’s much easier to let the voice be negative and I have to actively work to keep it positive, it has changed my life for the better, and the more I do it, the easier it becomes.
I say my affirmation at least three times a day, like I mean it (even if I don’t really feel like I do.) I also think it to myself many times a day while I’m doing “mindless” things such as taking my shower, doing household chores, and playing games online. I even have this one on my computer’s desktop and my cell phone. Since I live on these two things for work, it’s pretty much the constant reminder I’m looking for-and I say it, at least mentally, every time I see it. When you work like I do, that’s more times a day than you have time to count.
Give it a shot for a couple days, maybe a week, and see what happens. Leave a comment for me to share how it has worked for you.

I didn’t comment when I first read this post, because I wanted to try it for a while before I said anything. Now that I’ve been doing it every day for more than a week, I am pleased with the way I feel. It just empowers me!
